Adopt a GF Blogger - Heidi from Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom

It's holiday baking time which is something I love to do. I like lots of easy filler type items which supplement the main event, the COOKIES!

This month's Adopt a Gluten free Blogger is hosted by Sea over at Book of Yum. I chose Heidi over at Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom. She has so many ideas for things I want to make like Twix bars.

I chose to make her Peppermint Bark and not only was it easy, it's excellent. Usually I make white chocolate bark only but it's so festive and extra fancy when you make this with the chocolate and white chocolate.

 This recipe is extra special because it's written by Gluten Free Dad. Let's get some more guest posts!!



I also made her Chow Mein noodles. After I saw this post, I did a lot of searching for similar recipes. I really couldn't find any though. There were lots of recipes for the actual chow mein noodles chinese dish but nothing for actually making the noodles.
One holiday staple for us, is always what we call " Oh Henry's" . I think there are many different names. Last year, I used potato chips and they were called Nutchos but with this, I was able to make my Oh Henry's again. In Canada, we have a chocolate bar with peanuts and I think caramel called an Oh Henry bar but this isn't quite the same thing.

Melted chocolate, peanuts, and chow mein noodles all stirred together and dropped onto a cookie sheet to harden and they become a nice little sweet treat.

Yum. Oh Henry's.
